cuba2415.jpg, image/jpeg, 250x167 The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil

Climate change and peak oil challenge us to to change how we live in ways that are hard to imagine. How will we respond, and what systems are possible to help us adapt to radically changing conditions? One powerful model we can learn from is Cuba.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s Cuba experienced the sudden loss of trade and over 50 percent of their oil imports. Cuba's Gross Domestic Product dropped by more than one third, transportation halted and food became scarce - on average Cubans lost 20 pounds during the first 3 years of the economic crisis. Yet Cubans triumphed over adversity through local solutions. The film visits urban gardens and organic farms, explains the relationship between food and fossil fuels, and shows how a society can change from an industrialized, global focus to a local, community based one. It is a rare view into this island culture, using firsthand reporting that focuses on what Cuban's have learned and can share about adapting to living with less.
